It appears that the new guidelines show only two ways to treat columned material. They are either formatted as a table or formatted as a list dependent on whether the columns are related. Is that the correct interpretation?
Please see the attached Word document for an example of our question.
Thank you.I need to see the actual print page in order to give you a complete answer. Please scan and send it. What you have sent is your interpretation of the print and since formatting is about what a print page LOOKS LIKE, I need to be able to see exactly what your page looks like.

The new Formats now clarifies that unreleated columns are NOT a table, but lists that happen to be printed next to each other. That is a visual arrangement, nothing more. Formatting should reflect what something actually IS, not necessary just what it LOOKS LIKE. Unrelated columns may be printed to look like tables, but in fact they aren't, and now that issue is simplied and clarified and lists that happen to be printed next to each other are brailled according to what they ARE, which is lists.
